Damn Right I noticed it! And Eul, how can anyone in their right mind use the word justice concerning a story when the man received 28 lashes and the woman only 23!!!!! A gross INJUSTICE.

There have been three defenestrations in Prague : in 1419 (members of the city council by Hussites), in 1483 (a conflict between two parties of the city), and the one depicted here in 1618.
A staircase? Never heard of?

Is Prague the origin of the expression, "Up the down staircase"?There have been three defenestrations in Prague : in 1419 (members of the city council by Hussites), in 1483 (a conflict between two parties of the city), and the one depicted here in 1618.

PS I visited Prague 6 years ago and loved it!
Prague certainly holds the record, though we Scots still have the window in Stirling Castle
whence James II defenestrated the over-mighty William, Earl Douglas, in 1452
(having already stabbed him 27 times)
mind - it's been going on since Jezebel was defenstrated by her eunuchs -
there were some very nasty examples in the 20th century, notably
in South Africa under apartheid, and in Nigeria under military rule.

Also at Stirling Castle is the wall from where, in 1507, John Damian, an Italian quack doctor and alchemist favoured by James IV,
set off wearing a large pair of wings to fly to France, but he couldn't fly either and fell in a dung-heap.
He blamed his failure on there being hens' feathers in the wings, hens make for dung-heaps rather than the sky!
